While it appears that our combined efforts at social distancing have impacted the COVID-19 epidemic, it is still unclear when we will be able to resume our “pre-pandemic” lives. Unfortunately, our health and more specifically chronic medical conditions, cannot be put on hold. In fact, there are public health concerns regarding the potential future costs of this pandemic on individual and community health. Please know that the staff at Gateway Gastroenterology understands these concerns and have implemented strategies to safely provide care to those patients who are experiencing GI problems.
